"06, Lift-off" The golden hair emits a faint red light because it conducts the high-temperature waste heat of the reactor. It is violently swung and cooled in the turbulence of the air, just like the dazzling torrent of molten metal when it is poured into a mold. The air scraped against the convex edges on the surface of the humanoid body, making a screaming whistle. The turbulence formed by the tips of the wings on the limbs caused drastic changes in air pressure and forced out the water vapor in the air, leaving two ribbon-like white trails. , as the fuselage tilts and rotates, a spiral "staircase" is erected in the sky.
In the previous battle, Amber was entangled by the Sky Lock and was forced to abandon most of the parts of the original air superiority suit and lost the ability to fold and transform. Although conventional humanoid flying suits also have certain flight and air combat capabilities, there is a big gap in speed and flexibility, and it is really difficult to deal with the siege of elite flying units like before. Moreover, the size of the mechanized body determines that its logistical load is tactical rather than strategic, and can only cope with short-term fierce battles. Now the remaining amounts of fuel in the cold fusion battery and propellant in the turbofan engine have reached the warning red line. In order to prevent being entangled in the same air battle as before, Ambel must accelerate the climb to gain an altitude advantage. If it encounters an emergency, it will Able to dive away.
After climbing rapidly for two kilometers, Ambell turned off the propellant injection of the engine after confirming that it was not being tracked, and switched to using pure ducted fan propulsion to float to save propellant. Although this only retains helicopter-level maneuverability, flying creature mounts in this world generally only climb a few hundred meters, so it should be safe enough here.
??Reconnaissance transfer mode, turn on! Make fists with both hands and press them together, connecting the arms into a ring to maximize the use of body surface area to receive and send signals. Soon, she felt the narrow-wave electromagnetic signal coming from the ground. The girl in the sky slightly adjusted the direction of the armband as if she was shaking a child in her arms to achieve the clearest vertical angle for the model. The sapphire blue binocular lenses rotated slightly to point to the earth, and the focus of the pupils became farther and farther.
The signal has been connected, the military encryption channel key has been passed, and the transmission has begun.
"The base vehicle has been connected." A clear voice suddenly came from the communicator, making the people staying at the base vehicle command center cheer. Tessa looked relieved, "Negotiation team, how is the situation there?"
"This is 01, let me report. The negotiation process was stopped due to unexpected circumstances. The Silver Cross Guild, the Holy See and the Demon Lotus Guild tried to send people to detain His Majesty Governor Keya, so they clashed with us. The Silver Cross Guild Declaring neutrality. The two holy mages, Demon Lotus and Tian, ??who were marked as high-threat targets, confronted each other and declared neutrality and would not intervene in the current situation, but also refused to release Lord Satsumaran. Respond to the conflict with force according to the predetermined plan .During this period, we got a meeting with Ipheril's team. The suppression has been completed, p is safe, and some of our personnel were casualties. During this period, it was confirmed that there was internal strife between the Silver Cross Guild and the Holy See, and confusion in command authority. The specific situation has yet to be confirmed. After the suppression was completed, our unit followed the captain's text transmission order to complete the response to the Zarji detachment. Currently, one assassin has been received and protected."
"Can the negotiation continue?" Tessa asked urgently. If witnesses are in hand, unnecessary bloodshed may be avoided, and at least the colony can gain a moral upper hand.
"I'm afraid it can't be done." There was a bit of annoyance and anger in Anya's hoarse voice, "The other party's main negotiating partner, the representative of the Silver Cross Guild and the Holy See, the Templar Jeremiah is confirmed dead."
"What?" Tessa turned pale and jumped up, "Could it be that you"
"No! It's a traitor. There are traitors among his followers, or they are simply controlled by the mind." Anya's words contained suppressed anger. Her past experiences and painful memories made her extremely disgusted with words such as traitor and betrayal.
"Judging from the oral intelligence obtained during the conflict, the Iron Cross Knights, the unit he commanded, seemed to have been given false orders by an insider. For this reason, after the conflict, he quickly ordered his men to stop fighting and end the confrontation, and While trying to reach the Knights of the Iron Cross who had been given false orders, he was assassinated by two of his personal attendants in the process. Jereminus suffered two fatal injuries, including a blunt blow to the skull, and died on the spot. There was nothing we could do. One of the two attendants was killed by Jereminus when he resisted, and the other was captured alive by other men of Jereminus, but he also died soon. No poison was found in the mouth. From the reaction before death, It is inferred that he died from some kind of mental breakdown. In addition, the Iron Cross Knights are currently missing after receiving false orders. The command center must be vigilant. It may be coming to you."
Tessa was shocked, "We were indeed attacked, but we didn't realize it was too bad." Recalling the huge and obvious tactical deficiencies in the city guards' mindless attacks before, an inspiration illuminated Tessa's mind like a bolt of lightning. "Amber, search for target, cavalry, a group of phantom beast cavalry, they may go "
"The suspected target has been discovered." An overhead dynamic real-time image came from Amber. The image initially included the entire city, but suddenly a certain area in the city was enlarged, and then it was enlarged to a group of riding phantom beasts. The entire army flew across the roofs and ridges of the roofs and moved rapidly in one direction.
"The emergency channel is on, Captain, can you hear me, Captain! The Iron Cross Knights are moving towards you, and their target may be you. Oh my god, what is that thing?" The aerial camera deviated slightly, and Lieutenant General 17 on the screen The location of the signal was marked, and behind it was a dense mass of black spots spreading like a swarm of ants.
"Yes, I understand. A warning of supernatural biological disaster contamination has been issued. A subspace passage has appeared in the area. The situation is a bit out of control. Send someone to pick us up and organize all personnel to prepare to evacuate Xueman."
"Understood, hold on, captain, reinforcements will be on the way." Tessa hung up the communication and shouted, "Rena!"
The light and shadow girl suspended in the air shines with seven colors of the rainbow that are different from the past, and the colors are constantly changing like a rotating lens. "A mobilization order has been issued. Protecting the captain is the top priority, and the Gray Knights and Ultramarines reserves are mobilized. All combat units of the negotiation team are rushing to the rescue."
??Hope to catch up. Tessa couldn't help but clasp her fists on her chest, even though she hadn't prayed to the gods for a long time.
¡°The information is a bit late.¡± 17 closed the warning window and turned his attention to the situation in front of him.
On the roofs of houses, on walls, and on street corners, slender and powerful phantom beasts are slowly approaching, carrying lightly armored knights on their backs. These magical beasts artificially cultivated by alchemy have amazing strength, speed and balance. No matter how rugged or even precipitous the place is, it feels like walking on flat ground. For ordinary cavalry, forests, mountains, and cities that are considered restricted areas are no different from vast grasslands. And the knights who can control such crazy, powerful and expensive mounts are naturally not ordinary people. They are all elite geniuses collected by the Holy Spirit Sect from believers in all human countries on the mainland. Each of them has the potential to become a knight of the king's guard. Quality. Only they can form the Iron Cross Knights, the undisputed strongest knighthood in the mainland, a legendary knighthood that is admired and envied by countless young knights and their attendants, as well as famous ladies and princesses.
But when this legendary knight becomes an enemy, it's another story.
The heart is beating like a drum under the influence of adrenaline, and the 17-year-old veteran's intuition is roaring like an air raid siren. How long has it been since he felt such a crisis? He has experienced too many simple life-and-death crises such as being surrounded, being shot, near-explosive bombs, and near-death, but this was completely different. Watching them skillfully and skillfully occupy the commanding heights and all strategic arteries, and block every exit. They are not only powerful, but also experienced. They have a shrewd and brave commander. They have a tacit understanding of life and death with each other all year round, leaving no chance for their opponents. Such an opponent is enough to make 17 recall those unbearable memories. This is not death that is close at hand, but the noose gradually tightening around the neck, suffocating bit by bit in the deep water, and approaching you step by step. Death's footsteps.
17 can identify such an opponent because he is familiar with such a unit, and the 939 he leads is such a unit.
However, he also discerned that there was still a slight gap between the unit in front of him and Team 939, and this was also the difference between this knight group and the Gray Knights. They are not used to death yet.
"Count Keyach of Macragge?" A haughty voice came from the knight at the front. None of the knights wore heavy metal armor. At most, they had a metal breastplate and shoulder armor. The rest was soft armor made of hard leather. The bottom was paired with a solid-color gown with bright different-colored edges. There was no personal armor. Although they are similar, they are all slightly different, and each person's breastplate is embossed with different patterns. Such gorgeous and different dress makes them both similar to and different from modern cuirassiers.
17 didn¡¯t answer. He was still not sure about the purpose of the person in front of him. And that person didn't seem to care, and turned his head in the direction of Chu, "Is that Ms. Chu from the Gray Knights?" His words made 17 frown. 17 knew Chu's mental interference ability and could only Only those with firm will, high concentration and clear goals can notice the existence of Chu. It seems that Chu is also their target.
"If you don't deny it, it will be regarded as your acquiescence. There is also a young lady who is not on the list. If you were not kidnapped, please leave those two people. I will extradite you to the trial court. They will be responsible for your trial. I Guarantee you will have at least one chance to defend your innocence."
Cecilia leaned on her with a smileThe armored hood said softly to 17, "What a group of great guys. Their temperament alone is different from the monkeys we encountered before who only wield weapons."
Seeing that the girl ignored him, the man didn't seem to care. He touched his chest with one hand and nodded slightly, "My name is Luke Donelson, deputy commander and vanguard officer of the Iron Cross Knights. Knight," the man said. Then he put on the leather combat gloves over the white silk gloves, "The courtesy of the name is over, let's do it!" He waved the knife with no hesitation and decisiveness.
17 on this side also had no time to be surprised or panic. The sensitive nerves that were always on guard reacted instinctively. The Gauss machine gun was quickly raised and pointed at the pioneer officer. He didn't know if he was the opponent of so many knights, but He was sure to snipe the opponent's commander first.
Those knights had no "civilized" etiquette for fighting alone. After hearing the order, they shook their reins and were about to rush down together.
A black shadow suddenly blocked 17 in front of him, so fast that 17 could hardly react. "Chu!" 17 exclaimed, but luckily he didn't pull the trigger. The Gray Knight girl tilted her body, expressionlessly exerting force, and stabbed the crowbar in her hand towards the ground.
The pavement made of crushed rock, soil, and even excrement cannot stop the tip of the titanium alloy. The crowbar with anti-slip texture penetrated more than half a meter deep. Poof, a stream of dark red septic blood splashed across Chu's face, but Chu remained expressionless and didn't even blink.
High in the air, Ambel, who was relaying these electromagnetic signals, was shaken by the sudden influx of a huge amount of data in his brain. Fortunately, the relay signal was not affected.
"Captain is in trouble." I haven't experienced such violent emotional ups and downs for a long time. It's not the calculation results of the data processing unit, but the always calm part of the biomass brain. The wild emotional hurricane is raging, and the torrent of information sent out is constantly impacting. The control unit and computing assistance system in charge of the mobile part also have to overclock and send out signals to coordinate or even fight against it.
"I have to save him. My priority is to maintain communication. No, I can't stay here. It's irrational. For the captain, maintaining communication is more important than getting involved in the battle. No! I'm going, I'm going !" In Amber's brain, neural signals and electronic data were in fierce conflict. She sent requests to the battlefield to intervene in the battle over and over again, but they were rejected time and time again.
"Ambei, check your sending device. You have sent more than 600 requests in one second. The communication channel is almost full." The elf girl connected to Amber's channel and said angrily. , "Your task is to maintain the communication connection, isn't it? 06, are you okay? Your PC is overclocking."
"06 Me? I I want" The overload of the auxiliary computing device caused Amber's movements to vibrate and other small incongruities, just when she was about to make a decision. At this moment, the electronic eyes suddenly turned to the north of the sky, focusing to the extreme.
The new data inserted in the middle of "Unidentified Air Unit Approaching" temporarily interrupted the confrontation between the cell nerve impulses and the auxiliary computer data correction. The coordination program part of the auxiliary program used to coordinate the contradiction between the nerve cells and the auxiliary control software was finally found. The intervention point clears out most of the memory and directs resources to new targets.
The black spot in the distance is at the same height as Amber. Because of the distance, only a small bunch of pixels are left on Amber's camera eyes. The calculation program continuously compares the pixels from the two lenses with each other and then sharpens them, and then a blurry thing appears but the general outline can be clearly seen.
Amber was at a loss for a while, and Battlefield Reina was also surprised by the final image result and even had confusion in logic. "A ship? The wooden sailboat is flying?"
There are still some remaining manuscripts to sort out, so I¡¯ll put these first
